Rhodes Chroma Polaris

The Chroma Polaris was the second synthesizer made by Fender/Rhodes
after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a classic analog ARP-like
sound, kind-of tinny but also fat. Sounds can be layered up to 6 voices.
It has typical analog synth controls including a cool 'sweep' knob for
sweeping through the LFO or analog filter cutoff parameters. It also has
a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches.

There's also a nice and colorful layout with sliders similar to Roland
Juno synths, membrane push-buttons and a large velocity sensitive
61-note keyboard making the Chroma Polaris a very nice synth. Fully
MIDI-equipped, the Polaris will transmit and receive all its edit
controls through MIDI as well as the ability to play up to three patches
at once. Unfortunately they are rare and usually hard to find. It has
been used by Leftfield and Jimmy Edgar.
